兰花收藏是上流社会流行的消遣方式,很多富有的藏家甚至派出自己的兰花猎人去往地球上最遥远的角落,去寻找珍稀罕见的兰花。与猎豹狭路相逢,与持刀劫匪斗智斗勇,这似乎是那些无所畏惧的世界旅行者或者印第安纳·琼斯似的冒险家才面临的险境。但是对19世纪那些寻找兰花的猎宝人来说,这些在他们所面临的困难中只是沧海一粟,这些兰花猎人冒着失去生命或者失去肢体的风险,仅仅是为了寻找最完美的一朵兰花。 Orchid collection is a popular pastime in the upper class. Many rich collectors even send their orchid hunters to the farthest corners of the earth to find rare and rare orchids. Encounter with the Cheetah’s narrow road and wrestle with knife-raiding robbers, this seems to be the dilemma faced by those fearless world travelers or Indiana Jones-like adventurers. But for the treasure hunters looking for orchids in the nineteenth century, these were just a drop in the difficulties they faced, risking their loss of life or physical loss, simply to find the perfect orchid.
